A tall thin man with watery eyes and a

The back of his head was encrugted with

A Lumber Trust.

Saginaw Courier: The Buffalo Ex-
press of The 9th has the following edi-
torial: From St. Paul comes word
that lumber Trust is being worked
up among the great lumber and log
ging companies of northern Wisconsin
One company has acquired control of
the enormous plant of another COM
pany land is said to have secured there
by a monopoly of the vast lumber in
terests of the northwestern part of the
state. The Pioneer Press says it is the
largest aggregation of entirely employ
ed capital in the northwest outside Of
railroad companies.
This is the latest but probably not
the last addition to the list of profit
able industries which are becoming
practically inaccessible for men of
moderate means. Even very rich
man, standing alone, will have pref
" hard time of it if he tries to procure
or sell crude petroleum, to manufac-
ture refined oils, to make cotton seed
oil, or to employ his capital and skill
n many another business.
Regarding the great lumber consoli-
dation it is explained that the union OF
interests is not for inordinae pr fit bat
merely for 'Self-protection" and ste
iasure constant supply Of logs to the
c,mpany's many mills Yet how un-
likely it is that the price of manufac-
tired lumber will be made any cheaper
ny the deal, or that any outside capitai-
ists will be encouraged thereby in the
erritory controlled by the Trust.
The Trust is the supreme decree o!
MonopolW 1t is a comparatively re-
cent word in the business vocabulary,
tut its effect is not unlike he famiiial
feet of the combinations known as
rights" and ''pools.'' The first effect
to limit the possibility of opposition
The result of that IS that prices may be
nsintained at an arbitrary figure: and

eor. than the art Giles are worth.
Until legi-la ures arise whose wis

Of the sort approached the owner and

A Connecticut Glr1 as a Car Conductor
Ansonia Sentinel: An Ansonia young
lady had occasion 10 act as conduct,
on one of the street ears one day lael

In company with another young lad,
she was riding from Birmingham, by
mistake in dropping fares for both,
dropped a quarter OF. a dollar into the
hex from whence no change comes.
The quarter jinglsd against the glass
sides with an unusually loud sound tina
caused the driver to take his eyes of
the road for an instant and glance in
the direc ion of the fare box. As his
optics caught sight of the quarter set
Ting itself down the glass boggap,
they also noticed an outstretched hand
belonging to the young lady and his
ears heard the sound of "changt

thoughts that the young lady had OF
ever getting her fifteen cents change.
and told her the best way he saw was
for her to collect three fares from tht
passengers as they entered the car. Ac-
cording'y the young lady, - any SEN
sible person would do. bided her time.
and from trio who boarded the Car
collected the amount of her deficiency,
thus balancing herself with the COM

He's an Henest Man.

New York Sun: 1t is convincing
evidence that man long in public life
is honest if he is poor. Abraham Lin
coin had to borrow money to get to
Washington to enter the Office of Pres
ident.
Roscoe Conkling had to borrow
money to get back to New York after
he resigned his seat IN the Senate, and
he vert to work at once to pay off his
dehs. Gov. Cornell appeared to have
had hard. luck ia business matters and
was met at the beginning of his cam
paign for governor with the publication
of a list of judgments.
Col. John R. Fellows has been handi-
capped by debts for some years, but
like Cnnkling he has bsen -dsvoting a
part of his salary of $500 to pay them
off, and now declares that he has re-
duced them to less than $4,000.
If Col. Fellows had availed himself
of opportunities to be dishonest he
could have paid his debts long ago.

Elihu b. Washburne, whose death
was noted in the Record Of yesterday.
was mentioned as follows in a recent
letter from Paris to the New York
Evening Post: The other day there
came premature report OF the death
of Mr.. Washbnrne, the ex-minister to
France. and the Figaro summed up its
estimate OF him in this wise: ave do
not like to say anything but good of
the dead, and we hope that we shall
not be considered as doing violence to
this maxim when we remark that he
was more of Yankee than of diplo-
mat. He was not liked In France, for
he did not like the French, as his
writings in an American magazine
the evince.* He was not a
Gentleman. At ball he wore thick
y0ots, which clattered on the floor.
He wore his hair long, AMI we suppose
that he considered it compen-
sation that his pantaloons were
too short. He displeased US"
Certainly this is not an ex-
hibition of French politeness. but it is
gratifying to read in other French
newspapers comments on Mr.. WISH
burns career as laudatory as the
Figaro's are abusive. $50 prosecuted
they the prophets"
Mr.. McMsst.r says of Franklin, on
first minister to France: Popularity
80 extraordinary was not, however, un
mi lgIed with contempt One writer OF
memoirs describes him as .one OF the
great charlatans of the eighteenth
century, Another cannot abide his
table manners and dispises him FIR
putting butter on his eggs and ea.ing
til. m from glass. A third denonnce-
him IN u long poem" But Frenchmen
do not always agree among themselves
on the question eff good manners, for
the Able Monellet says of him:
Notre b. mn
En- p..l ia. il est grand,
A table 81 yrux ct frssc.
The ink of small critics could not
blot Franklin's character and career.
nor will the length of Mr.. Washburn's
hair, the shortn"ss of his pantaloo-s or
the thickness of his boots count much
against his craftsmanship. his fidelity
and se'f-abnegation maintained
throughout the second reign of terror.
